iuhliiig a portion of tlie Keserve (^orps. It was composed of the divis- 
ions of Criift (First), Sheridan (Sec<nid), and Wood (Third). In the 
battle Crnft's division was with Hooker in the storming of Lookout on 
the 24th of November and in carrying the S(mth end of Missionary 
Eidge on the 2.~>th. Wood's and Slieriibiii's divisions carried Orchard 
Knob and Indian Hill on the altcrnoon of the 2.'3<1, and reversed and 
held the enemy's works on tliat line nntil the alternoon of the 25th, 
when these divisions, with Sheridan oa the right, formed the center of 
the line for tln^ storming of .Missionary Kidge, Sheridan in this assault 
having Johnson's division of the Fourteenth Corps on his right and 
Wood having Baird's division of the Fourteenth C(nps on his left. 

In the battle Sheridan's and W(iod*s divisions of the Fourth Corps, 
supported by the Eleventh Corps on the left and Baird's division of 
the Fourteenth Corps in reserve on the right, carried Orchard Knob 
and Iiulian Hill to the south of it, constituting the enemy's central 
line throngh the ])lain, in the afternoon of November 23. November 24 
Hooker's forces in Lookout Valley, consisting of (ieary's division of 
the Twelfth Corps, Crntt's of the 'Fourth, and Osterhaus' of the Fif- 
teenth, carried Lookout .Mountain. On the 2ath these forces advanced 
to liossville (lap and carried the south end of Missionary Ridge in the 
afternoon of that day. At 3.15 ]>. m. of the 25tli .b)hnson's, Sheridan's 
Wood's, and ISaird's divisions, formed from right to left in the order 
named, starting from the central line captured on the 2od, assaulted 
and carried first the enemy's ritie-pits at the base of the llidge, and 
innnediately thereafter the central line of ^Missionary Eidge for a dis- 
tance of three miles. Tlie whole movement occupied a little over an 
hour, and the captures were 40 guns and about 2,000 prisoners.

For sometime before the battle this division ocriipied the fortifications 
of Clinttanoojin from Fort Nejiley to a point near Fort Wood. General 
Baird's division was on its ri;^lit and (leneral Wood's on its left. On the 
afternoon of Noveinl)er 1*3 it sni)ported General Wood's division in a 
movement on Orchard Knob, itself carrying- the low ridge to the right 
and rear of this knob. On the morning of the 25tli Barker's brigade 
pushed back the enemy's i)i('kets, and the division moved forward to the 
next ridge so as to ])rolong General Wood's line. At .3.15 p. m. the 
division took i)art in the storming of Missionary Eidge, moving against 
and capturing the enemy's ririe-])its in its front at the base of the Ridge, 
and, starting fiom that line, scaled the summit. The center of the divi- 
sion reached the crest very near General Bragg's headquarters. The 
division, after carrying the crest in its front, i)ressed on in pursuit, 
continuing this until dark, with sharj) skirmishing and one serious attack 
upon the enemy's rear guard.

This division occupied the left of theline of works about Chattanooga, 
its liglit restiu"' on Fort Wood and its left on the Tennessee Kiver above 
the city. On ISToveniber 23, supported on the right by Slieridan's divis- 
ion and on the left by tlie Elevf^ntli Corps, it formed the column of attack 
on Orchard Knob. It deployed in front of Fort Wood at 1.30 p. m., 
moved directly upon the knob, and after short but sharp fighting car- 
ried the position. It reversed tlie enemy's works and added new ones, 
and remained in this position until 3.15 p. m. ISTovember 25, when it 
moved to the assault of Missionary liidge witli Baird's division on its 
left and Sheridan's and Johnson's on its right, in the oider named. It 
carried the enemy's rifle-pits in its front at the foot of the ridge, which 
completed the movement covered by the orders given this part of the 
line. Tlie men, however, who first reached the rifle-pits kept on and 
began the ascent of the ridge, aiul carried it without a halt. The other 
divisions of the assaulting column to the right and left also went for- 
ward to the snmmit, which was carried at six points at nearly the same 
time, and in about an hour from the beginning of the movement. 

Fifteen hundred men of Ilazen's brigade of this division manned 
the boats which floated down to Brown's Ferry, and made the 
successful landing at tlnit jtoint at 5 a. m. of November 27, which 
resulted in reopening the Tennessee Eiver. The rest of the brigade, 
under Lieutenant-Colonel Bassett Langdon, First Ohio, co-ox)erated 
from the right bank of the river f>pi)osite the lauding point.

This corps, after the reorganization which took ])lace early in Octo- 
ber, was com])osed of the divisions of Brig. (len. E. W. Johnson (First), 
Brig. Gen. Jefferson C. Davis (Second), and l>rig. Gen. Absalom Baird 
(Third). It occu j)icd the fortifications of Chattanooga from Fort Negley 
to the Tennessee Biver below the city, its right being establislied upon 
tlie S(mth points of the spurs extending southerly from Cameron Hill. 
The First and Third divisions took part in the battle in front of Chatta- 
nooga, the Second was sent to prepare for and cover the crossing of 
General Sherman's army over the Tennessee, opposite the north point 
of Missionary liidge. Carlin's brigade, of Johnson's division, ascended 
Lookout Mountain, toward evening of the 24th, from the mouth of 
Chattanooga Creek, and rei^nforced the right of General Hooker's line 
under the palisades, near the Craven House. The First and Second 
brigades of this division formed the right of the four storming divis- 
ions of the Army of the Ckimberland against Missionary liidge. Baird's 
division supjtorted Slieridan in the movement on the Orchard Knob line 
of the enemy on the afternoon of November 23, and on the morning of the 
25th it was sent to the vicinity of the Tunnel to support General Sher- 
man's attack at that point, but there being no room for it to operate it 
returned and formed north of Orchard Knob and on the left of General 
Wood's division of the Fourth Corps, and became the left of the line in 
the storming of Missionary Bidge. General Baird's instructions to his 
line before the advance began contemplated an advance to the sunuuit, 
as did the instructions given in the other divisions of the Fourteenth 
Corps (Johnson's), which formed the right of the assaulting line. Both

sembled to cover the crossing. The division crossed tlie river in the rear 
of General Sherman's army before noon of November 24. It remained

morniiiii-, Nov. -oth, when, by a reconnoissance of Van Derveer's brigade, 
it developed the fact tliat the enemy had withdrawn from the plain sonth 
of Chattanooga. Al)out 11 o'clock tlic division was ordered t(»the assist- 
ance of (Jeiier;il Sherman, tlien engaged at Tunnel Hill. U])on reach- 
ing that point, four miles distant, the division was ordered to return 
and form on the left of (Jeneral Wood's division, which then rested on 
Orchard Knob, with its left a short distance noitli of that point. In 
this position the division became the left of the line formed for the 
movement against Missionary Ividge. The orders given this portion 
of the line before the movement began contemplated its going to the 
toj). When the rifle pits were carried at the base of the ridge Turchin's

General Baird at this jinictiire not to allow bis men to go beyond the 
ritle pits nor permit tliem to become engiiged. This was countermanded 
in a few moments and his- whole line advanced to the top. On reach- 
ing the summit the troops of tlie division, in a mass and without regard 
to organi/iition, turned to the left toward a column of tlie enemy- 
approaching from the north and after a sharp fight, lasting about 
twenty minutes, repulsed it. In the storming of the ridge Van Der- 
veer's brigade, which was the center ot the division, carried the point 
where the first observation tower, north of Bragg's lieadquarters, 
stands; Turchin's brigade charged up over the open slope next south 
of it, and Thelps' brigade went up through tlie deep ravine adjoining 
it on the north.
